Coloring and music boost Kids' hospital satisfaction, new study finds
NCT ID NCT07455266
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a fun activity—coloring mandalas while listening to music—can make children feel more satisfied with their nursing care and see nurses in a more positive light. About 70 children aged 8 to 11 who have surgery will take part. Half will get this extra activity along with standard care, and the other half will get standard care only. The goal is to see if simple, holistic approaches can improve a child's hospital experience.
